Hue Loco Bookworm Collection: A Cozy, Book-Inspired Yarn for Knitters
The Bookworm Collection preorder starts Jan. 16, 2026
If you’ve ever planned your knitting around your reading time, this one’s for you.
The Hue Loco Bookworm Collection is a book-inspired yarn collection created for knitters and crocheters who crave cozy, intentional projects. It’s yarn that lets you work slowly, chapter by chapter. Inspired by well-loved paperbacks, quiet bookshops, soft yarn tones, and time to relax, this collection feels like the best form of cozy self-care.
Featuring ten thoughtfully named colorways — Bookish, Storybound, Prologue, Lost in the Pages, Literary Soul, Paper Dreams, Fireside Fiction, Tattered, Solitude, and Nestle — the collection is dyed on multiple bases (including Hue Loco’s lovely DK 4-ply base with 230 yards per 100g skein). It’s an ideal yarn for curling up with a book and letting your imagination do the work.
What sets the Bookworm Collection apart is its softness both in texture and mood. The palette blends rich neutrals, gentle moody tones, and subtle depth, creating shades that look just as beautiful on the needles as they do in finished garments. Bookworm offers the chance to make pieces that feel as timeless as a NYT bestseller. Bookish and Fireside Fiction are colorway standouts as these shades pair beautifully with minimalist knitting patterns and classic garments. Literary Soul is a cool-toned mauve pink semisolid and makes for a perfect everyday garment knit like a top-down knit sweater or cardigan. Prologue is reminiscent of opening up to the first weathered page of a favorite old book. With its subtle parchment-like tonality, this sandy skein is the perfect warm neutral with brown undertones.
Whether you’re knitting a sweater or scarf that feels as soft as it looks, this yarn embraces the best of modern slow living. The color palette versatility really shines as it works well for simple, meditative knits and intricate projects too, all while keeping the focus on intentional making.
The Bookworm collection offers a soft, somewhat special and emotional love for books and reading. Not to judge a book by its cover (nor these skeins), this collection isn’t full of loud colors, instead, it’s a collection of thoughtful hues. It’s yarn that works well for simple and advanced knits from soft mauves, striking teals, and page turning color pop. The colors encourage creativity, long evenings of making, and maybe even plans to meet your friends at the bookshop afterward to knit a little more. Honestly, it’s the kind of yarn that makes you pause and smile, like a favorite line from a book you never get tired of rereading.
If you want a yarn collection that highlights centered, lush, and smooth colors that are quietly expressive (with great ASMR squish), then the Hue Loco Bookworm Collection is worth lingering over. Like a good book, it’s meant to be savored, not rushed.
